The Conrad is a Hilton property. You will notice that lots of us have HHDiamond in our profiles - we get treated very nicely at the Asian properties ;)

The Conrad has a triple points offer - code H1. Doesnt seem to be any availability for the nights I am there but may be of use to others.

I admit that it is quite crazy, but then again I am just addicted to travel! And with such a fun group getting together in SIN city, who am I not to join in? :cool: I'll get into SIN on 14/JAN with CX715 and leave on 17/JAN on CX716, spending a day in HKG before heading home....

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Yayyyy! I get to see airoli again!

Singapore will be a big thermal shock for you, airoli, coming from a Zurich winter.

Crazy like a fox maybe? ;) The points, oh trhe glorius points towards status.

Oli, Welcome aboard, or Gruezi, wenn du auf dein Deutsch reden willst. :)

Look forward to catching up in January. Webpage will be updated very shortly (probably Saturday or Sunday).

this looks like a wild 48 hrs in SIN.. ;)

A pleasant surprise indeed! If the airfare between SIN-HKG weren't so expensive, I would be inviting myself to your day trip. There's always "Simply Asia." :D

36 for dinner in Singapore so far. Holy Crab Legs Batman!

Love this crazy bunch of travelers on FT :)

Hmm.. I'll consider Conrad as well. :)
Any 'special' treatment as HH Gold which I received from SQ PPS?
Thanks again.

Put me down as a maybe for Sunday lunch and walk. I know I will need a good walk after dinner, lunch and 3 long SQ flights - probably wont need to eat for a week when I get back!

What time does the walk finish? (I fly out Sunday evening.)

oh yeah, please put me down for the friday night arrival munch and the sunday afternoon lunch as well.

Well this sure sucks. I'll be missing this by one week. : : pout : :

BTW perhaps someone in this thread might be able to help me. When I was there last month, I stayed at the Pan-Pacific and got a rate of S$180. Now I'm looking and it's up to S$220. While this will be a business trip and I'll be reimbursed, I'm open to considering some of the other Marina-area hotels if the cost doesn't go over that. Obviously they'd have to have a broadband connection in the room (and I will REALLY want a fitness center), but beyond that I'm not too picky.

Anyone have any recommendations? TIA! :)

Oh for Pete's sakes, I should REALLY read before I post drivel like this.

OK, I've gone and read transpac's Web page posted at the start of this thread, and wouldn't you believe it, I will be there that weekend! When someone said "second weekend in January," I checked the calendar and noted that that would be the weekend of January 8-9. Turns out the meet is the next weekend.

That said, my husband and I don't arrive until late Saturday night (we're on the UA flight from NRT that comes in at 11:25pm or so). I can't make the Pepper Crab Do. I might, however, be able to manage the Sunday hawker centre thingy. Especially if cawhite60156 will be there. Believe it or not, I will be seeing her the previous weekend in Orlando (and neither of us live there!) for another meet for another social group we hang out with. Too funny.

I'll PM transpac.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! Definitely plan on joining us on Sunday! It's a really fun group of FTers that will be in SIN that weekend, you're going to have fun!!!!!
